Adiyisɛm 6
1 Afei mihuu sɛ Oguamma no atew nsɔwano ason no mu nea edi kan no ano, na metee sɛ ateasefo baanan no mu baako de nne a ɛte sɛ aprannaa reka se, “Bra!”
Then I saw the Lamb open one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say with a voice like thunder, “Come and see.”
2 Mehwɛe, na mihuu ɔpɔnkɔ fitaa bi wɔ hɔ. Na nea ɔte ne so no kura agyan na wɔmaa no ahenkyɛw. Ɔkɔɔ sɛ nkonimdifo kodii nkonim.
And behold, there was a white horse! Its rider had a bow, and he was given a crown and went out conquering and to conquer.
3 Afei Oguamma no tew nsɔwano a ɛto so abien no ano, na metee sɛ ɔteasefo a ɔto so abien no reka se, “Bra!”
When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come.”
4 Ɔpɔnkɔ foforo a ɔyɛ kɔkɔɔ bae. Ɔmaa nea ɔte ne so no tumi se ɔmfa ɔko mmra asase so na nnipa nkunkum wɔn ho. Wɔmaa no afoa kɛse bi.
Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was permitted to take peace from the earth, so that people would slay one another, and he was given a great sword.
5 Afei Oguamma no tew nsɔwano a ɛto so abiɛsa no ano, na metee sɛ ɔteasefo a ɔto so abiɛsa no reka se, “Bra!” Mehwɛe, na mihuu ɔpɔnkɔ tuntum bi wɔ hɔ. Ne kafo no kura nsania abien.
When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come and see.” And behold, there was a black horse! Its rider had a balance scale in his hand.
6 Metee biribi te sɛ nne bi fii ateasefo baanan no nkyɛn. Na nne no se, “Awi susukoraa yɛ da koro akatua, na aburow susukoraa abiɛsa nso yɛ da koro akatua. Nanso nsɛe ngo ne bobesa no!”
Then I heard a voice from among the four living creatures saying, “A measure of wheat for a denarius, and three measures of barley for a denarius, and do not damage the oil and wine.”
7 Afei Oguamma no tew nsɔwano a ɛto so anan no ano na metee sɛ ɔteasefo a ɔto so anan no reka se, “Bra!”
When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living creature say, “Come and see.”
8 Mehwɛe, na mihuu ɔpɔnkɔ nsonso bi. Wɔtoo ne sotefo no din “Owu,” na Asaman di nʼakyi pɛɛ. Wɔmaa no asase nkyɛmu anan mu baako so tumi sɛ ɔmfa ɔko, ɔkɔm, ɔyare ne nkekaboa a wɔwɔ asase so nkunkum wɔn. (Hadēs g86)
And behold, there was a pale green horse! The name of its rider was Death, and Hades followed him. He was given authority over a fourth of the earth to kill by the sword, by famine and pestilence, and by the wild beasts of the earth. (Hadēs g86)
9 Afei Oguamma no tew nsɔwano a ɛto so anum no ano. Mihuu afɔremuka bi, na ase na wɔn a wokum wɔn wɔ asɛmpa no ne gyidi no ho adansedi akra wɔ.
When the Lamb opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and because of the testimony of the Lamb which they had upheld.
10 Wɔde nne a ano yɛ den kae se, “Otumfo Awurade, Ɔkronkronni ne Nokwafo! Woretwɛn akosi da bɛn ansa na wɔabu nnipa a wɔwɔ asase so atɛn, na wɔatwe wɔn aso sɛ wokunkum yɛn?”
They cried out with a loud voice, “How long, O Master, Holy and True, will yoʋ not judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”
11 Wɔmaa wɔn mu biara atade fitaa, na wɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se wɔntwɛn kakra nkosi sɛ wobekum wɔn nuanom asomfo abɛka wɔn ho.
They were each given a white robe and told to rest a while longer, until their fellow servants and their brothers, who were about to be killed just as they had been, should complete their course.
12 Na mihuu sɛ Oguamma no tew nsɔwano a ɛto so asia no ano. Na asasewosow a ano yɛ den ba maa owia yɛɛ tumm sɛ birisii, na ɔsram yɛɛ kɔɔ sɛ mogya.
Then I watched as the Lamb opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake. The sun became as black as sackcloth made of goat hair, the entire moon became like blood,
13 Na nsoromma tetew fii soro bɛhwee asase so te sɛnea mframa a ano yɛ den bɔ borɔdɔma bun ma ɛtetew gu fam pɛ.
and the stars of the sky fell to the earth like a fig tree dropping its unripe figs when it is shaken by a strong wind.
14 Ɔsoro yeraa te sɛ nhoma a wɔabobɔw, na mmepɔw ne asupɔw fii wɔn atenae.
The sky was split apart like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.
15 Na asase so ahemfo ne nnipa akɛse ne asafohene ne adefo ne ahoɔdenfo ne nkoa ne adehye nyinaa hintahintaw abodan ne mmepɔw mu abotan mu.
Then the kings of the earth, the magnates, the commanders, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and free man hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains.
16 Na wɔka kyerɛɛ mmepɔw no ne abotan no se, “Monkata yɛn so na momfa yɛn nsie, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a nea ɔte ahengua no so no ani renhu yɛn, na yemfi Oguamma no abufuw ano.
And they said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb,
17 Wɔn abufuw no da kɛse adu, na hena na obetumi agyina ano?”
for the great day of his wrath has come, and who can withstand it?”
